Tim Murray was born in the inner
suburbs of Melbourne, where, after excelling in woodwork and art in high school
where I came first in the woodwork section of the Royal Melbourne show in 1968.
I started Australian Handcrafted Timbers in 1994, after a redundancy, producing
hand turned bowls, lidded containers, frames, carved emu eggs and the like.
My passion for the beauty of
Australian timber and my relationship with timber is more than a job, it’s a
passion, some say it’s an obsession. Each piece of wood is chosen for the
colour and grain, with a story of mystery and indescribable beauty which
carries more than just the physical traits, more than that the wood carries
mysterious secrets of the earth’s deeper spiritual meaning.
I do not see cracks in timber as flaws
but as part of the character of the wood, a thing of beauty and uniqueness to
be accentuated with sterling silver, stone and Australian opals. These
techniques have led to my own unique style of work. My jewellery offers an
experience with nature, a powerful and intimate reunion with elements from the
earth with their own unique beauty that graces the body with nature’s natural
warmth.
